Artist's Website: Visit Gatewood's Website

Photographer and video artist Charles Gatewood, who has been documenting American subcultures since the early 1960s, has shot it all: extreme fetish play, blood sports, in-your-face tattooing, exotic body piercing, scarification, branding--and plenty of BDSM.

Trained as an anthropologist, Gatewood is better known as the "family photographer of America's erotic underground."

Gatewood records wild, kinky scenes with the artistry of a true Master. His boundless enthusiasm and single-minded devotion to his work -- and play -- have enriched us all. We salute you, Charles!

A sassy "how to" book that discusses essential subjects like finding the courage to do kinky work, joining the radical sex community, and the do's and don'ts of meeting and working with nude models. Also covered are exhibiting, publishing and selling adult photography, moral and legal questions, fighting censorship and harassment, plus a huge bibliography and a huge list of essential community resources for kinky shutterbugs and photography fans. Update! Charles has shared with us the lost chapter from the book!
